Uncovering the Benefits of Insulating Your Crawlspace

Crawlspace Insulation

Introduction: When I think of home improvements, insulating my crawlspace isn't the first thing that pops into my mind. Although this home improvement may be unknown to many, it can play a significant role in helping our customers boost energy efficiency. At Green Factor Insulation, we want to make all our customers aware of how beneficial this simple investment can be. Let's take a bigger look at the benefits of insulating your crawlspace. 

1. Energy Efficiency

We find that customers that chose to have their crawlspaces insulated are able to have more cost-efficient bills. This is done by creating a thermal barrier between the ground and the customer's home. Simply sealing off air leaks and adding insulation can allow each home to stay warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. Overall, this reduces strain on your home's air conditioner and furnace which overall decreases the use of energy consumption allowing customers to sleep better knowing that their home isn't only comfortable, it is also affordable.

2. Improved Comfort

At Green Factor Insulation, we take pride in making homes more comfortable for each of our customers. When we insulate a crawlspace, we create a more consistent temperature in the home. This will reduce the number of drafts in the home and also eliminate cold spots throughout the home. Our insulation also acts as a soundproofing barrier. It helps to reduce the amount of noise heard between rooms and is very beneficial if you're tired of hearing all the noises of the neighborhood. After we are done, we hope to create a better environment for all families. 

3. Moisture Control

Moisture in crawlspaces can lead to standing water, mold, and mildew. This can lead to health risks due to toxic mold, displeasing odors and stains, and structural damage to the home. By reducing the risk of unwanted moisture, the environment of the home can be healthier and aid with allowing our customers to be more satisfied with their living space. If you suspect that there are displeasing amounts of moisture in the crawlspace, call us immediately.

4. Pest Prevention

The final benefit I want to talk about today is pest prevention. Crawlspaces are known to attract many different animals such as rodents and insects. This can cause damage to the structure of the home, damage to the electrical, health risks, and devaluation of the home. By sealing cracks and gaps, we can eliminate the amount of pests entering the space. Don't let the damage get worse! Reach out for a free estimate today.
